A performance at a supermarket with six classical singers, women wearing portable structures which address currentsocio-economic and environmental issues, while vocalizing and appropriating the artist’s libretto without any furthermusical accompaniment. Familiar opera arias carry words that echo the issues affecting our lives today. An unusual yet fairy-tale critique of consumer society, this performance rattles viewers as much as it charms them. Thomas Piketty’s name and reference to his book Capital in the Twenty-First Century are uttered in a spoken word manner, enhancing the manner in which the performance comments on today’s world issues. He revisits historical data as we are now facing income disparity between classes as steep as it was before the French Revolution.
